How MDCXCIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 600 | DC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 1694 | MDCXCIV |
MDCXCIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + DC (600) + XC (90) + IV (4) = 1694.
XC and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDCLXXXXIV
Why isn't 1694 written as MDCLXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1694 is MDCXCIV.
Wrong: MDCXCIIII
Why isn't 1694 written as MDCXCIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 1694 is MDCXCIV.
Wrong: MDCLXXXXIIII
Why isn't 1694 written as MDCLXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so LXXXX and IIII are not used: 90 = XC, 4 = IV. Together they make MDCXCIV.
